Me too. I can’t remember the last time I went. I figure cut out the middle man and go straight to the top.

Why not use the way Jesus provided? (John 20:21-23)

The Catholic Church teaches that confession is not the only way to acquire reconciliation with the Lord. But the sacrament of reconciliation carries a special, transformative grace with it, which I personally vouche for. I was an Evangelical Christian, and used to think the same as you. But then, after I converted to Catholicism, and since I have been going to confession on a regular basis, I am amazed at how powerful the process is. Tempations just evaporate like they never had before. It's pretty amazing. That's my personal testimony -- take it as you wish.

God bless.

Really? Did you baptize yourself too? Performed your own marriage ceremony? Do you act as priest/minister at your own self-oriented self-worshipping masses/services? Did you create yourself while you were at it? Just cut out everything since YOU are the center of the universe. (Why do what that Jesus guy says? Who does He think He is anyway?)
